Hi,

Has anyone experience with running a lot of Windows VMs on a Single Proxmox host (like 20). is there anything special to consider when running so many windows 10/11 VMs compared to Linux. Like enough GPU power from the CPUs to render 20 VMs or fast enough storage for the disks. I am planning a server with 12 gen4 nvme SSDs from Samsung (Samsung PM9A3 Datacenter) in striped mirror setup so striping across 6 drives in ZFS. and 2 AMD EPYC 7453 and 256gb RAM.

Any Input is appreciated
Thanks
 
Don't forget to increase your ZFSPool storages block size when using so much disks. You probably need to increase the volblocksize from 8K to 32K to be able to make use of the full performance of those SSDs. Would be best to benchmark that yourself before creating the actual VMs.
